Prediction

Market snapshot on Aug. 24: Liu roughly -185 to -200, Rodrigues roughly +155 to +175. Liu gets the pick because of his kickboxing pedigree, size and cleaner range striking. Rodrigues is stepping in as a replacement and has dangerous knockout power, which keeps this from being a high-confidence selection.

Key edges

  • Kickboxing experience
  • Size and range
  • Cleaner striking structure

What could go wrong?

Rodrigues is a powerful finisher and one chaotic exchange can erase Liu's technical advantages.
